About our expansion joint sealing in Nutbourne
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Tyres load the edges, and de-icing salts and water work into any gap. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. We work on podiums and floor movement joints, cladding panel joints and brickwork movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is sealant pulling off the joint face and leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Nutbourne, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Nutbourne, measurements and photos up front mean one trip where possible, with the right materials on hand. Tell us the joint widths if you can, and what drives or walks over them.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep stones and debris out of open joint lines
- Keep scrapers and ploughs from dragging across joint sealant
- Look over external and deck joints after a hard winter
- Treat a small split as a warning, not a cosmetic issue
Fresh joint sealant needs its full cure time before it takes traffic or water. The time varies with product, conditions and joint depth, and we confirm it for each area before we leave. Barriers left in place until then protect the finish.
Rain gets into walls through torn brick and block movement joints. The first sign is often a damp patch indoors. Catching it early keeps the water outside.

Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- A joint that has to be widened or re-detailed before it can work
- Concrete or masonry repairs along the arrises
- Mechanical expansion joint covers, cover plates or proprietary joint systems (a specialist supplier’s job)
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Nutbourne
Nutbourne is about 41 miles from central London. The South East has large numbers of industrial estates and warehouses along the motorway corridors, and their floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic all day. Rainfall across the South East, Nutbourne included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and winter de-icing salt on car parks and ramps works into any open joint.
Another example is Station Approach Industrial Estate, 1.9 miles to the west of Nutbourne, where floors and yards would be done in stages around the occupiers. Schools like West Chiltington Community Primary School often have long brick elevations with movement joints that age quietly. Office parks like Broomers Hill Business Park (1.4 miles north-west of Nutbourne) have decks, ramps and clad elevations whose joints take movement every day.
Nutbourne is about 3 miles north of Storrington, in West Sussex. Our applicators travel to Nutbourne for work on movement joints. Nutbourne is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex for movement joints. Our Brighton page has more on work in that area (17 miles or so).

Why act early in Nutbourne
Closing a car park for a reseal is rarely an option. Phased work by bay or zone lets the rest stay in use, compared with a full closure. We agree phasing with you before work starts. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Nutbourne, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. If others near Nutbourne need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with photographs, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- Joint widths and expected movement are checked against what the sealant can take and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Every joint is cleared of the failed seal and any grit packed into it.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- The right sealant goes in at the right depth, bonded to the two sides only.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Nutbourne
Is Nutbourne too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do we have to stop operations in Nutbourne while the joints are sealed?
In the majority of cases the site keeps working. Joints are done in phases, a bay, aisle or deck at a time. The phasing plan comes with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Are expansion joints and movement joints the same thing?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the structure move without cracking. Many people call it an expansion joint and both need a flexible seal.
How the job changes by surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
Masonry faces are often porous, dusty or crumbly. We clean them back to sound material and prime where the manufacturer specifies, then seal and tool the joint.
Joints between different materials
Hybrid or MS polymer sealants bond to many substrates. The choice depends on the substrates and how much the joint moves.
